Abstract
Introduction: Since prehistoric times, garlic is one of the leading spices extensively cultivated for its flavour, pungency and medicinal values. Organo sulphur compounds viz., Allicin and diallyl disulfide are responsible for numerous medicinal properties. Among quite a few natural and synthetic substances, biostimulants have rewarding effects on garlic growth, stress tolerance, yield and productivity. Ascophyllum nodosum (seaweed) is such an inimitable biostimulant extensively used in garlic.
Materials & methods: The current study was conducted during two years at BCKV-Agricultural University, India to evaluate the effect of A. nodosum. Six different garlic genotypes including one local variety Goldana and 3 doses of A. nodosum were considered to study various morphological, yield attributing and quality parameters and their inter relationship with weather variables and the storage behaviour.
Results and discussion: The experiment revealed that AVT-1GNB-23-41 was the best among all the genotypes. The treatment AVT-1GNB-23-41×seaweed@1ml/L gave the maximum plant height (73.07cm),leaf width(2.32cm), polar & equatorial diameter (35.45, 36.33mm),clove length (2.64 cm), cloves/bulb (30.95), weight of bulb (18.87g), total yield (7.02t/ha) compared to others. AVT-1GNB-23-41 genotype showed highest TSS (30.83°Brix), phenol (159.65mg GAE/100g) while ascorbic acid (14.74mg/100g) was maximum in AVT-1GNB-23-26. In case of correlation study, bright sunshine hours and total rainfall had positive and negative correlations with total yield. L* and b* values decreased with advancement of storage but a* value was increased upto certain time and then decreased. On storage point of view, the treatment AVT-1GNB-23-47×seaweed@1ml/L was superior with lowest physiological weight loss at 36 DAST.
期刊介绍：
In an ever changing world, plant science is of the utmost importance for securing the future well-being of humankind. Plants provide oxygen, food, feed, fibers, and building materials. In addition, they are a diverse source of industrial and pharmaceutical chemicals. Plants are centrally important to the health of ecosystems, and their understanding is critical for learning how to manage and maintain a sustainable biosphere. Plant science is extremely interdisciplinary, reaching from agricultural science to paleobotany, and molecular physiology to ecology. It uses the latest developments in computer science, optics, molecular biology and genomics to address challenges in model systems, agricultural crops, and ecosystems. Plant science research inquires into the form, function, development, diversity, reproduction, evolution and uses of both higher and lower plants and their interactions with other organisms throughout the biosphere. Frontiers in Plant Science welcomes outstanding contributions in any field of plant science from basic to applied research, from organismal to molecular studies, from single plant analysis to studies of populations and whole ecosystems, and from molecular to biophysical to computational approaches.
Frontiers in Plant Science publishes articles on the most outstanding discoveries across a wide research spectrum of Plant Science. The mission of Frontiers in Plant Science is to bring all relevant Plant Science areas together on a single platform.
